beating Kentucky was a good win...even if they aren't as dominant as they have been in the past


This is the best Kentucky team since 2020. Plus they’ve won 7 out of their last 8 (only loss was at LSU) with wins at Auburn and at Tennessee and a blowout at home vs Bama.

It was a big win any way you look at it.

You act like you’re not discounting the Kentucky win, but you actually are.

Outside of the Wake Forest and Dayton games, LSU was terrible in the non-conference. They became a good team in SEC play. Program is headed in the right direction.

I don't think I'd go quite that far. The 2021-2022 UK team was a #2 seed (who was upset by St. Peter'...who ironically also ended McMahon's Murray State's team's run in the tournament). That team was better than this Kentucky team...even though this team might go further in the NCAAT.

Still, no one should discount the win.

"Good" is relative. But they certainly became a better team. No one can rationally dispute that.

We all hope so, but things can change rapidly in this age of college basketball. Where the program is headed will depend on who McMahon can retain from his current roster and who he can add from the portal. Optimistically, LSU takes the next jump up like Florida did this season. But if the roster is gutted, they could be looking at a significant step back like Vanderbilt took this year after having a better conference performance last year than LSU did this season.

It's too early to make any predictions about next year's team.

The Kentucky game just shows what this team should’ve been and wasn’t.

A home blowout to Miss St and a loss at 12-seed Arkansas say something different about this team.
